Life Coach: The Only Clinically Proven Process for Depression

Life Coach: The Only Clinically Proven Process for Depression
If you look up "clinically proven process for depression"
on any search engine (be sure to include the quotes as this
will eliminate the medication sites) you will find the only
clinically proven process for depression just as you would
have ten years ago. The majority of people who suffer from
this debilitating disorder have been so programmed with the
use of medication for depression that a process that
actually fixes the problem at the source has been all but
ignored since its introduction into psychiatric care in
1990.

Depression is the primary symptom for almost all behavior
disorders. Go to a psychiatrist or psychologist with
symptoms of depression and you have just signed up for a
prescription for an anti depression medication, many of
which are linked to suicide. This is probably the most
profound example of attacking the body to try and change
the mind. This is not to say that a prescription to an
antidepressant should never be done. It just does not make
any sense as a first step when there is a clinically proven
process for depression.

In May 2007, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)
recommended a new warning label for all antidepressant
medications. The current "black box" label includes a
warning about the increased risk of suicidal thinking and
behavior in children and adolescents. The FDA wants to
expand this warning to include young adults from ages 18 to
24. Children and young adults should also be monitored for
the emergence of agitation, irritability, and unusual
changes in behavior, as these symptoms can indicate the
depression is getting worse. The risk of suicide is
particularly great during the first one to two months of
treatment. Does medication make any sense with this type of
warning especially when there is a clinically proven
process for depression that gets to the very root of the
problem?

Everyone can agree that your health and well-being is
dependent on your doctor's expertise, so it's important to
choose the physician, psychologist or psychiatrist who is
best qualified. What does the best qualified mean in regard
to your mental health? In terms of the only clinically
proven process for depression it means beginning with an
answer to the most fundamental question about the state of
depression or any emotional state and that is: "What brings
about an emotional state and or behavior?" If your
physician, psychologist or psychiatrist cannot answer this
question how qualified are they? The answer is simple. If
they cannot answer this question they are guessing, this is
why medication for depression is so widely prescribed. The
reality is there is not a physician, psychologist or
psychiatrist who can answer this question because none of
these groups even asks the question. You simply cannot fix
it if you do not know how it works and you do not know how
it works if you cannot answer the question.

There is complacency if not outright resistance within the
community of psychology toward this clinically proven
process. The first study of this process in 1992 has had
virtually no impact on how depression was treated then or
now. The medical and mental health communities have all but
ignored it and continue with dispersing medication with a
seemingly high tolerance if not acceptance toward people
who commit suicide while depressed or while on depression
medication.

The most disturbing suicide statistics of late are the
average of eighteen military personnel who are committing
suicide every day as reported by NBC on December 13, 2007.
NBC also reported that 20% of active duty soldiers are
reporting serious mental health problems including
depression and post traumatic stress. All the while the
medical and mental health communities are content with not
even posing the question that will lead to a resolution to
this problem and that is: "What brings about an emotional
state or what determines human behavior?"

Question 15 of the clinical study was: Do you have thoughts
that life is not worth living and you would be better off
dead? There was a 95.7 percent improvement in regard to
this question and no one was prescreened for depression
before the study.

The hope here is that people who have a friend, relative,
child or know someone in the military who can be helped by
the only clinically proven process for depression will now
take action on their own.
